An interesting idea, though something that reacts to magic, by definition, needs to be magic. That said, I would expect it to be sufficiently low power as to require a very powerful spell to detect.

This is quite the weapon. I liked the story even more then the item.
It fits the warhammerish vibe perfectly.

Nice job!

Could have swore I voted on this excellent first time around. Go to Comment

This is quite good, though I think you should revise it for length. There are a lot of good details, but the length of the piece defends itself from being read (with apologizes to Winston Churchill).

Good article, but i would add that there are free game systems out there. I don't have a listing at hand but they do exist. Or, you can craft one yourself!

This seems to be as close as I've found to the link.

My first game was in the dark ages - junior high school, 1984.  I lasted all of perhaps 10 minutes, but I was hooked.  They gave me a prexisting character - an orc or simulator bash & smash fighter.  I opened one door.  Flock of spikes later I'm dead.

Apparently I "forgot" to put on my armor.

Still was hooked and got into a real campaign 2 years later.

'83? You beat me by a year you old goat! :)

Ah, nice and dark. No fairy tale here. Waiting death with no mercy. Go to Comment

A great list for that most common location. Well done Cheka! Go to Comment

An excellent resource for this type of location.

 

 

30 Archology plots would also tie into this one as well.

Not sure why this has gotten so little attention.

Found a very pertinent link:

Ditto -i like the feel of this.

I agree with Mourngrymn.

As for its detrimental effect for PCs, I have a couple suggestions directly tied to the blade:

1.The blade simply refuses to be unsheathed at a rather inopportune time.  

2. If the PC is falling or tumbling, the blade unsheaths with obvious effects.

3. If the PC is sneaking successfully, the cane gets dropped - loudly.

I don't think a misfortune field about the wielder fits with the idea of the item.

This sounds like a great campaign!

 I have always loved gemstones and this is an awesome piece.  The stones are ready-made to be used as components for complimentry magical devices.

 I'd only fix the type in the summary - as  instead of at.

A very good healing item - closer to a relic.  Easily used and I like how the powers are described without real gamespeak.
